It is dark. The sea is calm. Overhead stars are sparkling with the rhythm of soft, background music. Nature gives its best while a large darkened freighter waits in international waters for two hundred men, women and children being smuggled from the shores of a country known for its Holocaust history. Those boarding will carry the memory and scars of the Romanian Holocaust, now a country denying exit visas for its Jewish population. The atmosphere onboard the waiting ship is laden with fear, the kind that entertains the unknown, the unexpected. Systemic forces of anti-Semitism that brought on the Holocaust still lurk in the shadows raising the level of danger. Brave and experienced men directing the operation bear a common burden: all carry painful memories of relatives and friends buried somewhere in unmarked mass graves. Tonight they will use they're pain of history to forge new beginnings for many. Those in the radio room are reporting to the central figure responsible for this operation, a man of great wealth whose family perished in the Holocaust and whose mission it is to bring life to Ezekiel's dry bones by delivering members of the Diaspora to the shores of Israel. Sudden flashes of light alert seamen that a vessel is nearing. Fear of the unknown tightens its grip. A foreboding eerie silence hangs heavy. Each knows the consequence of failure. Is the vessel coming toward them the new immigrants destined for Israel or coastal authorities preparing to intercept the mission...?

Innocence of Guilt

Innocence of Guilt

James Berry

Lighthouse Publishing
2018
pokkari
Does innocence outweigh guilt when one violates the law if doing so benefits the greater moral good? This is put to the test when Jake, a young successful civil engineer, completes his project in a West African diamond-laden country and opens his luggage in London and finds that it is not his and that it contains smuggled contraband diamonds. He knows immediately that a Middle East diamond smuggling operation has gone awry with him ending up with the illicit goods, and that the violent cartel's interest will be in retrieving their lost cache. The country of Sierra Leone, known for its diamonds and nefarious smuggling operations, is also a land where his late venerated grandfather served as a mission doctor. The gravity of possessing illicit contraband forces Jake to wrestle with his conscience over the moral dilemma of surrendering the diamonds to corrupt authorities or violate English law by returning them to the country of origin in the form of a hospital. The weight of innocence in using the diamonds for the hospital project becomes greater than the guilt of breaking the law. When he chooses to keep the diamonds for the greater good, events unfold that change his life forever: the meeting of two beautiful women in London who come to his aid and staying one-step ahead of the smugglers and the law. After several violent attempts by the smugglers to retrieve the diamonds, he seeks advice and help from a beautiful Nefertiti-looking Sierra Leonean barrister practicing in London, whose late mother is English. Jake is a prodigal, the barrister a saint. The unreachable saintly barrister becomes the challenge for Jake, both emotionally and professionally. To market the smuggled rough diamonds, Jake joins forces with an enchanting Nordic beauty, a prodigal like himself, whose experience is extensive in the diamond industry. Of the two women, one makes him millions for the hospital project in Africa with the rough, uncut diamonds, the other leads him back to the faith he rejected as a youth.

Daniel's Apocalypse I

There is a prophecy within the Bible that was foretold by the archangel Gabriel to Daniel regarding the Jews and the holy city of Jerusalem over the span of seventy weeks. Many theologians have tried to study what the prophecy means; however, due to the unknown facts within the verses as well as there being so many different interpretations of the prophecy, no one is quite sure how to accurately define its meaning. Pastor James Berry has taken on the challenge to unravel the mystery of this perplexing prophecy in Daniel's Apocalypse I: The Prophecy. The first in a new series, readers will follow Berry as he provides his findings from his in-depth research regarding calendar dates for times in history, clarifying discrepancies of facts and timelines, covering how the prophecy has been taken out of context, and more. James is an eight-year USAF veteran. James met his lovely wife Pamela in the state of North Carolina while serving at his last duty station. Pastor Lynn Berry presided over the union of James and his wife on June 4, 2005. Both James and Pamela have been married for 16 years and have a son of the age of 14 named Samuel. James attended Barton College in Wilson, NC for 4 years from 2014-2018 earning a BS in Mass Communications. James is the current Pastor and praise and worship leader of New Life Christian Church in Colorado Springs, CO. James has been serving in this church his whole life during which time he has participated in many opportunities for traveling and ministering through worship and the word at several churches and nursing homes. James has led many Bible studies at his home and throughout his tenure of ministry.

A Story I Am In

A Story I Am In

James Berry

Bloodaxe Books Ltd
2011
nidottu
"A Story I Am In" is not just James Berry's life in poetry but a book of all the lives he has witnessed or been part of - a story of life itself. He came to Britain in 1948, in the first postwar wave of Jamaican emigration, later becoming one of the first black writers in Britain to achieve wider recognition. Poetry mattered to Berry from an early age, exposed to two main languages: the standard English of Bible and prayerbook heard every Sunday at church, with all its rhythms and sounding patterns; and the tunes of everyday Jamaican language, with its sayings and proverbs, its special dialect words with their African connections, its expression of a roots culture. These experiences gave him that strong and particular Caribbean awareness of language which has nourished his poetry over many years. This major retrospective of his work covers five collections published over four decades, plus a selection from four books of poetry for children. Much of his poetry celebrates the divided world of a lifelong outsider. Growing up in Jamaica, Berry felt as much disturbed by his African background as by the European slave-trade and its aftermath. His poetry shows how 'root agonies' made him view Africa as a thoughtless and neglectful mother, how his years in Britain - most of his adult life - left him worried by past, present and future. Now in his mid-80s, he has sought in his later work to give voice to all the people who came on the first ships from the Caribbean, whose journeys held strange echoes of earlier sea voyages from Africa to the slave plantations.
